PERFORMANCE DETAILS
Forget Shakespeare—The Joffrey Ballet celebrates Jones Hall’s 60th anniversary with Ekman’s surreal and unforgettable Scandinavian fever dream.
Forget Shakespeare—this is a Scandinavian fever dream.
Alexander Ekman’s masterpiece of theatricality whirls into a banquet of the surreal on a scale rarely seen—massive sets, nearly 50 dancers on stage, and the haunting on-stage vocals by a Swedish indie rock star. An unforgettable engagement for the 60th Anniversary of Jones Hall by the iconic "Company of Firsts"—a dance company featured on our first full large-scale season. Many happy returns.
Contains brief adult situations and synchronized absurdity.
